Net54baseball.com Forums - Hey, pennant guys

Nice pennant Marc...

I like your version (without the MLB Logo). The felt looks rather stiff... Is it the polyester stiff stuff or real felt? The orange version typically has the MLB Logo and is made of stiff felt (which could substitute as the blade of a guillotine).

Seems like yours was manufactured at a time that it could go either way.

This one I posted earlier is stiffer felt, but not the crazy stiff felt like the one with the MLB logo (posted below). There are several versions of this pennant. These all have the completed Candlestick. I know Oooribay has both the orange and black versions with the Candlestick outfield still open. I assume that those are on soft felt or cloth. I'm still looking for those.

Put me in the camp that says those bottom two Giants are not Trench but some other unknown company. They are very similar in every way to this full-size 1950 Phillies (top), which shares nothing in common with the scroll pennant that we know to be Trench.

Here are some pennants that, I believe, have the same origin as the Giants and the red Phillies (above).

Rare (for me) Etsy purchase, been looking for the AL string of 1969 ASCO and found this, a little worn but it will do.

Those Giants stadium pennants are great … Trench deviated quite a bit from their standard stadium design for them. Same with the Mets Shea Stadium pennant.

The "open outfield" Giants Candlestick pennants are the soft felt. The stadium was completely enclosed prior to the 1970 season.

Rob, it's my belief that the maker of your bottom two pennants featuring the generic stadium scene (here, "Polo Grounds") is Trench. What's interesting about these two is they're monochrome; and every other I've seen featuring this artwork was multicolored.

Typically these stadium scene pennants were made on a 3/4 size format: 8" x 26".

The top two closely resemble the text of the Trench ones below. Good observation. They may have altered the text ever so slightly to print these on a bigger, full size pennant. Are they indeed bigger?

You're on the money, Kyle. The top two are full size; the bottom two (Polo Grounds) are 3/4.
